It helps you know what to do to keep from hurting your back, and you’ll find ways to get your back and body healthy now and for the years to come.

Hi, I’m Brent Dodge, author of BackCare 101 and owner of Alpine Physical Therapy. I developed this helpful resource so people with back pain get the answers they need in order to get back in action. Our patients comment on how the resource is easy to read, is well illustrated, and helps speed their recovery.

Using BackCare 101 in conjunction with the expert physical therapists at Alpine Physical Therapy, you’ll gain a complete education about how your back works and what to do when spine problems arise. It does this and more. The information is easy to understand, and it’s delivered in a way that builds with each of your visits to physical therapy.

People who access our clinic in the south of Missoula also gain access to the Peak Health and Wellness Center, Missoula’s premiere health and fitness center. Doing your physical therapy in this healing environment gives you the edge to get better, faster. And you’ll discover ideas for improving lifelonghealth and wellbeing. People who receive care at our north Missoula location have access to comprehensive functional training equipment, including Pilates-based rehabilitation and CoreAlign®.
